Need Help With Writing a Script

[rosenman]

Hi, guys.I'm new in the forum.Sorry for the stupid post but i'm actually don't understand the program quiet well.My question is that, is there possibility anybody to write me a script.I think that the script wouldn't be long.I need AutoIT to scan area of the screen for a color and when the color pop up the script to click at left shift button.I use resolution 800x600 and the scan area have to be 370-420 at X and 110-160 at Y coordinates.Thanks in advance people.

Some great functions to use:

PixelSearch()

MouseClick()

Send()

Check the helpfile on these, and read up about them!

A Example:

$Color = color goes here...

While 1
$Pixel = PixelSearch(370, 420, 110, 160, $Color, 5)
Send("{Shift Down}")
MouseClick("left", $Pixel[0], $Pixel[1])
Send("{Shift Up}")
WEnd

Warning: The above code may not work. It is an example to show you how to do this.

Well a minute before read your post i write something like that you post here.

;NFS Underground 2
While 1
$Pixel = PixelSearch( 370, 420, 110, 160, 0x00FE00)
Send("LSHIFT")
Wend

But when i start that script if it gets the color in the scan area it starts to push SHIFT and never stops.

Is there any way to avoid that?

[TehWhale]

Try using:

If Not @Error Then
Send("{LSHIFT}")
MouseClick("Left", $Pixel[0], $Pixe[1])
EndIf

But you can always set it to a hotkey, if it is working too fast for you.

[rosenman]

This time nothing happens.Only slow down computer.

[TehWhale]

That's probably because it didn't find the pixel your looking for.

[rosenman]

Can you see the picture that i attached to this post.See the cords i think that i'm not making mistake.

[rosenman]

Finally i wrote a code that works but not full functionally.

WinWaitActive("NFS Underground 2 - Window Mode By Wiccaan")
While 1
$pixel=PixelSearch(0,0,800,600,0x00FE00)
If IsArray($pixel) = 1 Then
Send("{LSHIFT}")
EndIf
WEnd

Is there a way to speed up the things because when i start the script my pc lags...

I stop everything except the game and the script.I make the game 640x480 and low the graphic details and still when i run the script my pc lags.It cant respond as quickly as i want to Is there any way to avoid that lag?

I think i have to make the script to scan not the full screen but only the spot with exact color but i don't know how.

Can anyone help me?

Set specific coordinates where the shift up thing is, and set a small sleep in your loop because it's CONSTANTLY checking for that pixel, slow it down to like: Sleep(10).

With Best Hopes, J.B.

Would you help me with setting the pixel scan?I cannot understand what to put in the $pixel=PixelSearch(0,0,800,600,0x00FE00).

How to set here X to X axis and Y to Y axis?

Thanks in advance.

I look the code for PixelSearch:

PixelSearch ( left, top, right, bottom, color , shade-variation , step , hwnd )

Than i Fill it up.

Left pixel = 460

Top pixel = 165

Right Pixel = 465

Bottom pixel = 170

Color = 0x00FE00

PixelSearch (460,165,465,170,0x00FE00)

And this not works for me.When i change it to

PixelSearch (0,0,465,170,0x00FE00)

Than it works but still slow down the pc.

How to make the PixelSearch to search only in this 5 pixel square

from X axis 460-465 and Y axis 165-170.

Please help.
